Matthias Eibinger added another major Triton result to his already remarkable résumé after winning the $50,000 PLO Mystery Bounty at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro.

The Austrian continued his superb record on the tour by capturing his seventh Triton title and banking a combined payout of $1,053,000, helped significantly by pulling the tournament’s largest mystery bounty envelope.

Eibinger earned $353,000 from the standard prize pool before adding another $700,000 in bounty prizes after collecting seven envelopes during the event.

The victory further strengthened Eibinger’s growing reputation as one of the best all-around PLO tournament players in the world. While many fans associate him primarily with no-limit hold’em, Eibinger revealed after the win that he spent years grinding short-stack PLO online during the pandemic.

“I played a million hands online of short-stack PLO,” Eibinger told Triton after the win. “Some people might not know that, but there’s a format called ‘All-in or Fold,’ and I played this in PLO during Covid, two years straight.”

The result also capped a strong turnaround after a difficult start to the Montenegro stop. Eibinger had endured a frustrating opening stretch during the hold’em portion of the series before a deep run in the $150K event and now this victory completely changed the complexion of his trip.

Brazilian pro Joao Simao finished runner-up, while Spain’s Cesar Garcia secured third place and boosted his payout significantly with several strong bounty pulls.
